4 robotic telesurgeries performed from Delhi on patients 1,200 km away in Gujarat
Hospital's expert team accomplished four complex procedures across urology and general surgery within 24 hours
Four robotic tele surgeries were completed at Delhi’s Sir Ganga Ram Hospital with surgeons operating on patients 1,200 km away in Gujarat’s Vapi using a high speed internet.
The hospital's expert team accomplished four complex procedures across urology and general surgery within 24 hours with ultra-low latency.
Surgeons said they can now perform remote surgical procedures through telesurgery, which uses secure high-speed connections to link different operating sites.
"Telesurgery allows us to deliver the same precision and surgical confidence across distances as we would in the operating room," said Dr Vipin Tyagi, Robotic Coordinator.
Dr A K Bhalla, honorary secretary of the Board of Management, said, “The integration of robotics and digital connectivity represents a meaningful step forward in surgical science. The ongoing development of connectivity together with surgical technology will create more chances to connect treatment facilities with patients in remote areas.”
